Children of the Green Planet And this will get a few laughs. ___ History They were one of the many species in the Galaxy to refrain from wearing clothes. During the last days of the Republic they funded an extragalactic expedition project, but whether or not this expedition was ever successful or even went past the planning stage is unknown. Behind the scenes The Children of the Green Planet are a cameo appearance of the famous aliens of Steven Spielberg's 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. These creatures were inserted in the movie to make good on a promise—after Steven Spielberg included a Yoda cameo and Star Wars toys in E.T., George Lucas promised to include an E.T. cameo in the next Star Wars film he made—The Phantom Menace. While this is primarily an easter egg, and E.T. is probably not meant to be taken as part of Star Wars canon, some Star Wars references in E.T. can be reinterpreted in light of the E.T. references in Star Wars. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. For example, E.T.'s telekinetic and telepathic abilities were not ultra-enhanced mental abilities, but rather E.T. was a Force-sensitive. When E.T. heals Eliott with the light finger trick, he actually practices Force Healing. Also, when E.T. goes trick-or-treating with the children, he spots a child in a Yoda mask and begins to follow that child saying "Home… home…" (Composer John Williams included a snippet of his "Yoda Theme" from The Empire Strikes Back to accompany this scene.) This could be interpreted as E.T. recognizing a familiar species from his home galaxy. Senator Grebleips's expedition? HoloNet News Vol. 531 50 also mentions that Senator Grebleips of Brodo Asogi funded an expedition to another galaxy. This is another reference to E.T., since E.T.'s visit to Earth takes place in a galaxy "far, far away" from the Star Wars galaxy. (E.T. is said to be "three million light years from home" in E.T.'s promotional materials, galaxies such as our Milky Way galaxy are only around 100,000 light years wide, and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way (Andromeda) is 2.5 million light years away. Thus, even without tying the two continuities together, E.T. must have been not only extra-terrestrial, but extra-galactic.) Also, the ship that E.T. travels on looks very similar to a Core Ship, meaning that the Trade Federation, Techno Union, or any other wealthy financial powers may have been key in financing this expedition. E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, a tie-in novel to the film, a character mentions that she needs help with her "basic". However, in the context of the book, "basic" is a reference to the computer programming language known by that name. E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, reveals "Children of the Green Planet" to be the translated name of E.T.'s species. It also mentions several names which other alien species have given E.T.'s homeworld, such as Brodo Asogi, all of which translate to "Green Planet". While a species with the same name and appearance is itself part of Star Wars canon, and the homeworld name is given in Cloak of Deception, the species name is not specified. Pat Welsh, the woman who did the voice for E.T. in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, also did the voice for the bounty hunter Boushh in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.(Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi DVD Commentary) Braxas may have been of this species.
Haha, that brought me some good laughs And lucky for me, laughing doesn't hurt today How's your afternoon been? ./cough itsstillkindamorning! ./cough
I see how it is Oasis... laugh at the sick girl, huh? I will I promise. I'll try to work on it today.
aw *hug* I can't wait to see my post either... but I kinda have to write the thing first... *gives Oasis a look*
Haha. That totally made me laugh for some odd reason :redface: Really good post Titania. Your skills are amazing as usual!
I liked it a lot too. It's a whole lot different from everything else I've seen her write in the past few years. Very impressive. lol - I didn't know she could cuss
Not bad I guess. Tired, and I have to work 11 hours tomorrow. BLAH! Though, I found a cool new toy. The Hybrid Thread!
On the Display Mode on each thread in the top left corner of the thread, there are three modes. Linear, which is normal and default, Threaded, which has a list of threads and then only shows you one thread at a time, and Hybrid, which mixes both together
Oh no, Oasis found a new toy what's the plan as far as Aaron and Amaya? it's your turn, technically...
This is mostly directed at Oasis, Terra and Charisma... how close is the timing going to work? Obviously Oasis and I had left the cantina by the time Terra and Charisma got there, but depending on how you guys want this to work out, we could make it close enough where, say, Terra (and Charisma, if she follows) could end up figuring out which direction we went and getting a glimpse of us as we're getting on my ship, that kind of thing. Could be fun and dramatic If Oasis is ok with that. Thoughts? (I have all sorts of ideas on this in my head . Another thought: Charisma, if you wanted - I don't know exactly what your goals are at the moment or if you're headed anywhere particular - you also might be able to catch up to us and hitch a ride, or something. It's not the safest place to be, and having three people in one place can get a bit complicated, but you're welcome to if you'd like ) --I also have a tendency to plan too much in these things. Let me know.
